I have a problem where VM network profiles are lost when editing a host. E.G.
· VM is running fine on the correct network. Network Interfaces tab shows “nic1” and “Network Name” shows the correct network profile.
· I shutdown the VM then right click and Edit.
· The General settings for the node shows “nic1 <Empty>”. If I then edit config, something like increasing memory or changing CPU cores then click on OK, the VM configuration is saved without a network profile.
· When I boot the VM I cannot connect to it.
· I then have to edit the node again configure back in the correct network profile.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue? If not, any suggestions as to how I correct this so that the original network profile definition is retained after an edit?
I know Lior (cc'ed) fixed few bugs in this area and on the latest master I'm not facing such a behaviour. In the future we plan to block editing the vm nics in that context. What version of ovirt-engine are you using ?
Many thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon, I apologize for the delay in my response. I've worked quite a bit on that part of the dialog since oVirt 3.3, and while it was quite buggy I haven't encountered this exact issue you're describing. It does remind me of one bug though; could it be that pressing the "Show Advanced Options" is what triggers the strange behavior? What version of oVirt engine are you running? Both 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 should be quite stable as far as this dialog is concerned, so upgrading might be a good idea. As for workarounds, it sounds like a GUI issue so I don't think there's anything you can do apart from upgrading the engine. Yours, Lior. On 11/12/13 13:40, Simon Barrett wrote:

Lior, I'm running 3.3.1. I think it may be related to how I created the VM's. Another VM created using the blank template works fine and the network config displays correctly when I click on edit. The problem VM's were created with a different template. I'll dig a bit further to see if I can narrow it down any further. I don't have to click show advanced to exhibit the problem. Thanks for the response Simon

Hey Simon, It actually doesn't surprise me that it's related to the template, because we had other issues that were template-related in this dialog. However, I haven't been able to reproduce it myself when working from the master branch. So either it got fixed between 3.3.1 and now, or I just didn't try anything complex enough. If you could find some consistent way to reproduce the bug (BTW, it's definitely a bug and not by design), then we could determine whether it has indeed been solved in the meantime. And if not, we'll make sure that it's fixed. Yours, Lior. On 12/12/13 23:52, Simon Barrett wrote:

I am now able to reproduce the problem where network profile definitions are lost on VM edit. - Create VM - From the "Network Interfaces" tab, click on "New" and assign the ovirtmgt profile to nic1 - Edit VM, from the "nic1" drop down select another profile and click OK - Edit the same VM again and nic1 lists as <Empty> I upgraded to 3.3.2-1.el6 and still see the problem. As ever, any help is very much appreciated.

Hi Simon, Thank you so much for tracking this down. I'm currently immersed in oVirt 3.4 feature stuff, but I just wanted to let you know I saw this and am planning to take care of it; I'll take a look in a week or two when things calm down. The bad news are, I suspect there will be no workaround other than upgrading to the next version that will include the fix (likely 3.3.3). Yours, Lior. On 06/01/14 12:21, Simon Barrett wrote:

Lior,
I'm running 3.3.1.
I think it may be related to how I created the VM's. Another VM created using the blank template works fine and the network config displays correctly when I click on edit.
The problem VM's were created with a different template. I'll dig a bit further to see if I can narrow it down any further.
I don't have to click show advanced to exhibit the problem.
Thanks for the response
Simon

Hi Simon,
I apologize for the delay in my response. I've worked quite a bit on that part of the dialog since oVirt 3.3, and while it was quite buggy I haven't encountered this exact issue you're describing. It does remind me of one bug though; could it be that pressing the "Show Advanced Options" is what triggers the strange behavior?
What version of oVirt engine are you running? Both 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 should be quite stable as far as this dialog is concerned, so upgrading might be a good idea.
As for workarounds, it sounds like a GUI issue so I don't think there's anything you can do apart from upgrading the engine.
Yours, Lior.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue? If not, any suggestions as to how I correct this so that the original network profile definition is retained after an edit?
Many thanks,

To test this further I setup another 3.3.2-1.el6 ovirt-engine. I'm not seeing the same problem on the new engine. I'm going to try and move all configuration/VM's etc from the problem ovirt-engine install to the new one to see if the problem re-appears. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Simon,
Thank you so much for tracking this down. I'm currently immersed in oVirt 3.4 feature stuff, but I just wanted to let you know I saw this and am planning to take care of it; I'll take a look in a week or two when things calm down.
The bad news are, I suspect there will be no workaround other than upgrading to the next version that will include the fix (likely 3.3.3).
is there an ovirt bug targeted to 3.3.3 tracking this?
I'll open one as soon as I test the issue. Unless Simon would like to pick up the gauntlet and open one on bugzilla.redhat.com?...
Yours, Lior.

I am now able to reproduce the problem where network profile definitions are lost on VM edit.
- Create VM - From the "Network Interfaces" tab, click on "New" and assign the ovirtmgt profile to nic1 - Edit VM, from the "nic1" drop down select another profile and click OK - Edit the same VM again and nic1 lists as <Empty>
I upgraded to 3.3.2-1.el6 and still see the problem.
As ever, any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon

I built a new Engine Server on 3.3.2-1.el6, rebuilt my VM's and I no longer see the issue. All is now working as expected.
